Exclusive to Golden Door Winners

What Does Sam Think About Writing in a Book?

No one understands the heartbeat of the door-to-door world better than Sam Taggart—founder of D2D Experts, creator of the Golden Door Award, and champion of sales professionals everywhere. Sam built this community from a handful of pioneers into a movement recognized across North America.

A man with long blonde hair, wearing a burgundy button-up shirt and a headset microphone, stands on stage under colorful lighting, appearing to speak or present to an audience.

From the very beginning, D2D has been about more than numbers—it’s about people. Every Golden Door winner has a story that can inspire someone else to dream bigger, work smarter, and persevere longer.

I’ve always believed that the wisdom we gain on the doorstep belongs to the whole community, and this book is our chance to capture it forever.

Imagine a young rep, or a new sales recruit, holding this book and finding the spark that changes their life.

That’s the power of sharing what we’ve learned.

If you’ve earned a Golden Door, you’ve already proven you can do the work—now you have the chance to pass that torch, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the legends who shaped our industry, and to leave a legacy that outlives every deal you’ve ever closed.

This isn’t just a book. It’s a monument to the art of knocking and the spirit of our community. I can’t wait to read your chapter.

Questions, Answered—So You Can Focus on the Win

Who qualifies?

 Current or past Golden Door Winners. Not a winner yet? Join the waitlist for future editions.

Can my company sponsor my spot?

Do I keep the rights to my story?

Yes. You retain copyright to your story and your chapter; D2D holds exclusive publishing rights for the anthology as a whole.

Where do royalties go?

All online royalties support our charity partner, Inspiration Classrooms, a 501(c)(3) organization, which funds the construction of schools worldwide.

Are there any added costs?

No. Everything is included in the author’s tuition—editing, coaching, design, marketing assets, and your 150 complimentary copies. The only extra expense is shipping those 150 books, since every author lives in a different location and many choose to order additional copies beyond the included allotment.

How can I monetize or see a return on my investment?

Your tuition becomes an investment in a legacy tool that strengthens credibility, generates new revenue streams, and keeps working for you long after launch.

    • Fundraising & Auctions: Auction signed copies to raise money for your business, a favorite ca

    • Speaking & Branding: A bestselling author title lets you raise speaking fees and include books as VIP gifts, instantly elevating your brand and authority.
What will writing a chapter do for me?

Writing your chapter is more than telling a story—it’s a strategic move that benefits your career and your community:

    • Credibility & Authority: Becoming a published, bestselling author elevates your personal brand and opens doors for speaking, coaching, and leadership opportunities.
    • Client & Team Growth: Use your 150 complimentary copies as high-value gifts for recruits, prospects, or partners—each book is a lasting introduction to your expertise.
    • Marketing & Media Exposure: You’ll be featured in launch promotions, on Ignite Publishing’s platforms, and across the D2D community, increasing visibility and reach.
    • Lifetime Leverage: Your published story becomes content you can reference in presentations, social media, podcasts, and training materials for years to come.

Your tuition isn’t just a payment for one book; it’s an investment in a legacy asset that strengthens your reputation, expands your influence, and helps you grow your business long after launch.
